About the Bead Parties

The Adera Bead Parties are a gathering of friends for fun with a purpose.  

At the parties you will string your own necklace or bracelet and will take home your jewelry to wear.  100% of the proceeds from your jewelry go directly to change a woman’s life to help sustain her family in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
